I think I saw a statistic that said Lugar polled better against a Democrat than Mourdock did. so we can hope.
But hey, more on topic, we are the state that almost named a building after a beloved statesman named Harry Baals.
Fresh-eyed movie blogHere's some irony,
@ Harry Baals:
This wasn't the Bush administration's fault; it's the fault of Republican Party strategists such as Karl Rove, who have long advocated tactics that employ anger and other negative emotions to wrest just enough votes to win and leave bitter partisan divides in their wake.
Let's just take a gander at what Senator Lugar had to say
about Richard Mourdock:
This is not conducive to problem solving and governance. And he will find that unless he modifies his approach, he will achieve little as a legislator. Worse, he will help delay solutions that are totally beyond the capacity of partisan majorities to achieve.
How's that for an enthusiastic embrace of the new Republican candidate?

Look, I was just trying to find a way to shoehorn another Double Entendre in. *grumble* Next time I'll remember to put the disclaimer up.

Not a substitute for a formal medical consultation.TVTropes: where political discussions and penis jokes go hand in hand.
Anyway, I hope that this new guy shaves his Nutbush City Limits. You don't want more urban sprawl there.

Hey, your sig is awesome! I'm learning that song right now.
(Including, of course, the bit at the beginning about the 'pirate caravanserai', in glorious falsetto).
Mache dich, mein Herze, rein...I saw part of Lugar's concession speech, but not that part.
Dick Lugar is a classy man. Richard Mourdock? He's a Tea Party Dick.

As someone who lives in Indiana, here's a little rain on your parade.
Dick Lugar is one of the last Republicans who isn't just a self-serving party-line machine. Richard Mourdock (he uses Richard officially)'s campaign was pretty much entirely "Lugar occasionally votes with Democrats! He's clearly part of Obama's socialist conspiracy!"
Lugar's campaign pointed out things like Mourdock cheating on his taxes and having lots of big business friends he's already sold out to.
Basically, the last Republican I can respect lost his job.
